“It’s okay. It’s okay.” I tell her when the door bursts open. She jolts sitting up and so do las Dustin rushes into the room.
Azalea wipes her tears and he stops in his tracks. “What is going on?” I growl at his intrusion. It was unlike him to enter without permission.
“My King, Elder Larkin has arrived. He is demanding his son,” Dustin tells me and Azalea growls tossing the blanket back and stands. Her anger was palpable and her dream only added to it. She was so angry she didn’t seem to realize she had no clothes on as she headed for the door. Poor Dustin stared at the roof rocking back on his heels.
“Azzy love,” I call to her, she stops looking at me over her shoulder.
“You need to put clothes on, then I will let you at him. Just not naked, please,” I chuckle and she looks down before her eyes widen and she glances at Dustin, she squeaks rushing for the closet. I laugh, reaching for my pants when she calls out.
“Dustin?”
“Yes, Azalea,” he answers.
“Send for Cedric while we deal with Larkin,” she says and he looks at me for confirmation
“You heard your Queen,” I tell him and he nods before rushing off.
Azalea POV
It took me only a few minutes to dress before following Kyson out of our bedroom and down the stairs.
Our ears were alerted to the commotion as soon as we entered the corridor on the bottorn floor of the castle! know what Kyson is going to say before he says it, and I was prepared for it before he said it, when he growls furiously A sigh escapes my lips as Kyson stops in front of me.
“You want me to wait here until you see what is going on?’ I tell him before I exhale. I heard a loud bang from the end of the corridor to the main doors as voices from the end of the corridor began to grow louder When Kyson glances over his shoulder, I recognize one of the angry voices instantly as Damian, who can be heard shouting in frustration,
“Just let me go ahead, you can…” He growls but sighs. “You can come with me, but stay back with
Dustin until I know it is safe. Please,” he says, almost pleading with me. It is not until I look past him to the doors that I see guards rushing out of those doors. When I nod my head, he lets out a sigh and grabs my face in his hands before kissing the top of my head as he lets out a breath.
I’m trying here. I just don’t want to put you in unnecessary danger,” Kyson whispers as he lets me go and turns on his heel before stalking toward the main doors. He growls, stalking after the guards rushing out the doors. As they flatten themselves against the walls to get out of his way, I watch him slip outside and
I turn to Dustin, who twists his arm and extends it to me.
“You did the right thing. I know technically you overrule him, but you have powers that are only just awakening and aren’t sure how to use yet,” Dustin tells me.
“Kyson has been ruling for decades. He is a good King, and you can learn a lot from him, Azzy, if you pay attention. I know you are done being a pushover, that much is apparent, but he is your mate and a
King,” Dustin reminds me. However, I was done arguing with Kyson. We would be fine if he stuck to his word and gave me the same trust I gave him
“I know, and I don’t want to overrule him. I rather have him in charge because I don’t know what I am doing. but I don’t want to be shut out either. I can’t learn if he doesn’t let me,” I tell Dustin.
“He is trying,” Dustin says, and I nod in agreement, and so was I.
“And that is why I agreed. It would be foolish if I ran through those doors and into an ambush,” I tell him, and Dustin smiles. I was so glad to finally have Dustin back by my side. Gosh, how I missed him.
“I sent Liam to get Cedric for you,” Dustin tells me, and the arguing outside goes quiet when I hear a feral growl tear out of my mate, his aura rippling through the air, almost vibrating with his fury.
“Kyson?” | mind link, not wanting to step out there without letting him know.
“You can come out. He is alone,” he replies, and Dustin and I step outside the doors. Larkin was at the
King’s feet. His lip was bleeding, his clothes all wrinkled, and a cut below his left eye was healing, and his face was swollen. In addition, Damian had a split eyebrow, and it could be seen by the marks on his uniform that they had had a scuffle before.
The only thing I want to do is see my son! You can’t just fucking take him!” Larkin snarls at Damian.
“No! You don’t deserve him. And you sure aren’t going near my fucking mate,” Damian snaps at him.
“He’s my son! I’m a good father,” Larkin growls, and Damian steps toward him. When Kyson raises his hand, Damian stops, and his fist clench tight by his sides.
“Stand down. You shut up.” Kyson snaps at him as Larkin sits up, leaning against his car tire. My brows furrow when Kyson turns to Dustin behind me. “Aren’t you supposed to be getting Cedric?”
“I sent Liam,” he says just as Trey comes out the door and stepping in front of me, his shoulder brushing mine and Kyson nods to him and I feel him relax a little more with Trey nearby with Dustin. Though jealousy coursed through Kyson as Trey brushed against me.
“Dustin, go get Tandi,”
“What? No. Definitely not!” Damian snaps.
“Yes, get Tandi. She will tell you I am a good father. I would never hurt my son,” Larkin snarls.
“Damian! I want to sort this out,” Kyson tells Damian before glaring at Larkin, “and you will cooperate.
Larkin, Tandi had some fascinating information about the council cooperating with the hunters!” Kyson snapped at him, yet Larkin genuinely looked confused by Kyson’s words.
“Hunters? The council has never worked with the hunters,” Larkin states. “I hate them more than anyone.
You should know this, Kyson. They wiped out my home Kingdom! Killed my parents! No way am I working with fucking putrid hunters!” he snarls, the words leaving his lips venomously. He looked outraged by the accusation
Kyson looks at me, and I watch Larkin for a second, whose gaze settles on me; Larkin bares his neck to
“Sorry, my Queen. I never wished to disturb you,” he says before dropping his gaze to the ground.
“Which was your home Kingdom?” I ask him, curious and also trying to break the strange tension. I hated the man, but I would not solely base him on past behaviors. He wasn’t the ringleader; that much was obvious. Or maybe I was being naïve and too complacent. Kyson would let me know his thoughts or, no doubt, step in if he believes he needs to refute anything.
“The Credence Kingdom, my Queen. It was one of the first to fall. I know my brother did some despicable things but had we known who you were, we never would have come here Landeenas have immunity.
The council knows this, but honestly, we thought besides Elder Crux, none existed. They are the creators of Lycan law. We live by that law,” he says when I hear footsteps coming up behind us
“Apparently, live by that law. The council has some serious allegations against ther, especially how the council could be behind the rogue murders of the murder of Tandi’s daughter.” Damian snarls.
“Rogue murders? And Alpha Brock took his daughter,” Larkin says, “I am not Alpha Brock!” he adds, though it was clear he thought very little of the Alpha.
“He drowned her, tossed her off the cliff; Tandi saw him do it. She said she heard the splash, and Crux just stood there and let him,” Damian snarls.
“No, no, the council wouldn’t kill children.” Larkin defends his eyes, going to the doors behind us.
